Track: McViolence

Why We Like It: This thrilling tune is a swirling hotbed of post-punk angst and riveting musicianship. The band create a backdrop of sharp guitars and driving bass lines while pounding drums lay down a lean mean foundation that builds and intensifies to a glorious mammoth crescendo. ‘McViolence’ is an excitingly savage new tune from Bullet Girl and a sterling display of this band’s expressive sound and boundless talent. Prepare to be amazed.
